Happy Teacher Appreciation!

Teacher Appreciation Calla Lily Card

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day & Week! This year our school’s Teacher Appreciation Committee chose to do a garden theme for the week’s festivities. So in keeping with that, I decided to do a Calla Lily Card with the students.

I punched out enough white cardstock circles for each student to write an adjective they thought best described our teacher. I did a tri-fold with each to create a calla lily shape and glued them down onto a Juniper Cardstock card base with a Glue Dot so that each could still be opened. I drew in some stems using our ShinHan Sap Green Alcohol Marker where they could be seen and then attached a bow using CTMH’s Thistle Extra Thick Twine (I untwisted the twine to get a softer look to the bow before I affixed it using a Glue Dot.)

Back to School!

August 19, 2015August 19, 2015 by Kristina Baldwin

Today was the first day of school for my kids. I wanted to create a little something for the teachers so I went with something useful. I stamped up little notebooks for them to use throughout the year. I did get a little grief from a friend who works at a school about my use of apples. Apparently, teachers get tired of all the apple-themed gifts. Who knew? I guess I can understand as I think more about it though. Hopefully the teachers weren’t like, “oh no, more apples!” =)

This darling Crayon Bouquet is something I wanted to share since last spring–and the timing seems perfect with the start of school!

Appreciation Cards for Coaches and Teachers

August 8, 2015June 1, 2015 by Kristina Baldwin

It’s that time of year when things get busy. Sport seasons wrap up, Teacher Appreciation Week happens, the end of school draws near with all the many projects still to be completed and finally End-of-the-Year gifts for teachers. It’s always good to have a few ideas for appreciation cards handy!

This card was a group/class card I helped create with my son and daughter’s classes. I had each student do a maximum of 2 thumbprints (to conserve space!) and then let them use their imagination to create something with that thumbprint. Some really cute creations were born!

End of First Grade Teacher Gifts

August 10, 2015July 10, 2014 by Kristina Baldwin

I coordinated class gifts for the teachers in both my son and daughter’s classes again this year. Since I’m always short on time, I tried to keep the ideas similar enough that I wouldn’t be stressed out more than I needed to be at the end of the school year. First, I started by making … Read more End of First Grade Teacher Gifts
